I wouldn't say most atheists are so mean-spirited. Most I know are kind enough.

I know several kind atheists, one being my niece.
What kind are they enough of?
Have you heard this joke:
An atheist was taking a walk in the woods when he noticed he was being stalked by a bear. He began to run and while he was running he said " You know I don't believe in you, but if there really is a G-d, please turn this bear into a Christian". He ran to the edge of a cliff and the BEAR stopped completely, kneeled and said ,
"Thank you for this food I'm about to receive......"
